I had intended to post one of these pictures last week but the week just flew by and before I knew it I was eating chocolate and drawing an Easter rabbit so it is a bit of a 'buy one get one free' blog post today! As always, when the kids are on school holidays... Continue Reading →
Last week whilst I was procrastinating over getting some housework done (it's just far too hot to scrub the bathroom and push the hoover round) I pulled out my Brusho. Following on from my toucan picture last week I was still up for bold, bright colours and I knew that Brusho would offer that. For... Continue Reading →
Well, it's been a lovely sunny weekend and we've spent many hours outside enjoying it. I took the opportunity of kids playing happily to do a little drawing and painting with my very neglected watercolour pencils. I wanted something colourful so went with a bright Toucan. It is also the start of world watercolour month... Continue Reading →
I decided between mouthfuls of Easter egg chocolate this weekend that I should make up with my watercolour paints and have a go at a rabbit illustration (I feel very pompous calling them illustrations but well, doodle just doesn't quite work with the hours I put into this!) I'm pleased to say that my watercolours... Continue Reading →
Popping in with another painting as part on World Watercolour Month. It is quite typical for me to suddenly find time for something at the 11th hour 🤣 Anyway, today's prompt is stormy days. Not my best painting but this was a sofa doodle painted in half light after a late dinner. My intention was... Continue Reading →

I have had some quiet time today to sit at my desk and, fully intending on doing some beading, I found myself getting my watercolours out and filling... Continue Reading →
The kids have gone back to school today after their Easter holidays. I never seem to blog much when they are off (can't think why!) so I thought I'd hop on today to say that I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. He is such a cross looking rabbit. Perhaps someone stole his carrots... Continue Reading →
I hope your week has started well. The kids are off school on their half term holiday so we have been busy today with a play date and trip to Hobby Craft (UK craft store) to stock up on children's crafting essentials. It was mainly for my 6 year old son as he had a... Continue Reading →
Hello! I'm still working on the illustration challenge on Facebook. Week 5 was peacock and it sounded so simple. I thought I would have fun with lots of bold colours and draw lots of feathers but the reality is that when I sat at my desk I came up with nothing. A poorly son may... Continue Reading →
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of... Continue Reading →
